Ray Eugene Gammon

When the Vanner Angekom column for a record is blank, do we mark the date "blank" or do we use ending date of record at the top of the image?

Check the examples given with the project instructions on how to mark dates and which columns can be used

@Ray Eugene Gammon Having done 10 months of these South African Dutch records I have never left a date field blank. Though I never use the Birth or Geboren date, I will use the most recent of the other dates supplied. Sometimes there is one other date, and sometimes there are two. Project Instructions tell us to use the Most Recent date. When I review I often fill in event dates left blank. There is no reason to leave a date blank.
